I wish I could ask A-10 Basketball/Commissioner why the A-10 is in the last 4 conferences to release their Men's BBall Schedule

MEAC is also in that last 4

Might have to do with our media contracts with ESPN and USA. I know ESPN gets dibs on first choice for FridA10 and then USA gets to pick. Maybe they’re slow walking what games they’re going to air?

but they have the same or better information on who the better teams are;
Matchups were released months ago

but if you had said the TV people were busy with the P4 and Big East Contracts - I might buy that

Looks like everyone high up in the a10 is reachable via email. Curious how responsive they’d be.
Hold on - let me send an email to "The Management"

Letter Sent
3 questions
1) why the late schedule release?
2) why prohibition against the term "Mid-Major" status?
3) analytically/mathematically speaking - unbalanced scheduling does not produce a proper champion nor tourney seeding. There is a better method.

More TV games - good thing, especially CBS sports network and ESPN. Excellent exposure.

vcu visits us with students at home. Figured.

No Friday night a10. But overall the tv schedule offers better exposure opportunities. While the nonconf didn’t really improve, the tv piece did, so that’s a plus.

We do have one Friday night A10 game…
Feb. 13 (Fri.) – at George Washington* (CBSSN)

Unfortunately it’s not an ESPN game. Baby steps I guess.

Why can they not post start times yet? If the games are on tv, I would guess that time is locked down? I'm not buying season tickets until I know I can get to a majority of the games, and now I'm having trouble not booking other events on game days as I can't plan around the game time.

It's pretty much par for the course for everyone right now. Even major programs like Duke don't have all times posted yet. It's a pretty safe bet that our weeknight games will be a 7PM tip-off. Sunday games will most likely be an early afternoon tip. Saturday games can be any time, we've had afternoon and night games on Saturdays. Doubt this helps your decision much.

ESPN's A-10 Friday Night Showcase:

Jan. 16: Loyola Chicago at Dayton
Jan. 23: Saint Louis at St. Bonaventure
Jan. 30: Loyola Chicago at vcu
Feb. 6: Dayton at vcu
Feb. 13: Saint Louis at Loyola Chicago
Feb. 20: vcu at Saint Louis
Feb. 27: Dayton at George Washington
Mar. 6: vcu at Dayton
GW and St Bonaventure get thrown a bone, otherwise it's the same 4 teams playing each other every Friday.
